Shaft In Africa [1973]

Amazon.co.uk Review

Shaft in Africa, the second sequel to the original hit, foreshadows itself early on when Shaft, asked to go undercover in Africa to halt a modern-day slave trade, claims that he's not James Bond but strictly Sam Spade. Bond, however, is the operative model here, with John Shaft masquerading as an Ethiopian to infiltrate the slave business and bring it down. Yet everyone he encounters seems to know who he is and wants to kill him--but the string of dead bodies he leaves in his wake across two continents proves that no one is able to stop everyone's favourite hip private eye. Written by Stirling Silliphant, the film is long on action set pieces that are filmed with more energy than the previous movie, Shaft's Big Score. Given contemporary practices involving smugglers of illegal Chinese and Mexican immigrants, the plot isn't all that far-fetched. Roundtree, as usual, is the picture of unflappable cool--but don't get him mad. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com

SHAFT'S BACK BABY!!!!!!.......2001-11-20

In this chapter of the black private dick saga, Shaft has been send to Africa to destroy a slave smuggling ring. This is the more violent of the original trilogy, but none the less, I think this is fantastic all the same. Shaft is around in surroundings new to him, so this time John Shaft has no idea where to go. Believe me when I say, SHAFT IS BACK!!!!!!!
